Perhaps the successful use of exercise to alleviate depression is depression subtype specific. I would guess it would help with true atypical unipolar depression with reactive mood. It almost certainly won't work with bipolar depression. I doubt that melancholic (classic endogenous) unipolar depression with severe psychomotor retardation would benefit either.
When it comes to mental illness, I think it is counterproductive to think of it in terms of global properties.
